Wide receiver Puka Nacua caught 10 passes for 130 yards, including a 24-yard reception to convert a critical third down in the final minutes to seal the Rams' season-opening game at SoFi Stadium. In a low-scoring defensive battle against the defending AFC South champions, the Rams fell behind 6–0 midway through the second quarter before taking a 7–6 when running back Kyren Williams scored on a 1-yard run that capped a 9-play, 65-yard drive. Though the Texans regained the advantage with a field goal on the final play of the first half, the Rams retook the lead for good on their opening possession of the third quarter, driving 68 yards in five plays before quarterback Matthew Stafford found tight end Davis Allen in the corner of the end zone for a 13-yard touchdown pass. Stafford, who completed 21 of 29 passes for 245 yards with no interceptions, became the 10th quarterback in NFL history to surpass 60,000 career passing yards. Wide receiver Davante Adams had four receptions for 51 yards in his Rams debut. With just over four minutes remaining in the game, the Rams appeared ready to put the game away with a deep drive down to the Houston 12-yard-line where tight end Colby Parkinson was separated from the ball after a short catch. The Texans's final offensive drive covered 57 yards down to the L.A. 25 when Houston QB C.J. Stroud found backup running back Dare Ogunbowale for a short gain. As Ogunbowale dived for extra yardage, he was confronted by Rams linebacker Nate Landman, who punched out the ball, which was then recovered by defensive tackle Braden Fiske, and Los Angeles ultimately ran out the clock. Landman, who shared the team lead in total tackles (10) with safety Kamren Curl, was named NFC Defensive Player of the Week in leading a Rams defense that added three sacks and an interception.
Week 2: at Tennessee Titans
Week 2: Los Angeles Rams at Tennessee Titans– Game summary
Outside linebacker Byron Young had five total tackles with two sacks and a forced fumble as the Rams dominated the host Titans in the second half to move to 2–0 on the season. Los Angeles tallied five sacks (four after halftime) of rookie quarterback Cam Ward and limited Tennessee to just 80 total yards in the final two quarters. Quarterback Matthew Stafford completed 23 of 33 passes for 298 yards with second half touchdown passes to tight end Davis Allen and wide receiver Davante Adams as the Rams scored 20 unanswered points after falling behind 13-10 at halftime. Adams had six receptions for 106 yards while fellow wide receiver Puka Nacua had eight catches for 91 yards while also scoring a 45-yard touchdown run on a jet sweep in the first quarter. Safety Kamren Kinchens recorded a team-high 10 tackles while linebacker Nate Landman added eight tackles with a fumble recovery.
Week 3: at Philadelphia Eagles
Week 3: Los Angeles Rams at Philadelphia Eagles– Game summary
Ahead 26-7 less than a minute into the third quarter, the Rams appeared poised to avenge their loss in the NFC Divisional Round from the previous season, but the host Eagles rallied to score 26 unanswered points in the second half to prevail in the battle of unbeaten teams. After giving up an early TD to Philadelphia following a Matthew Stafford interception, Los Angeles scored on its next six possessions as kicker Joshua Karty converted four field goals (51, 28, 33, 46) and Stafford threw touchdown passes to wide receiver Davante Adams (44 yards) near the end of the first quarter and running back Kyren Williams (10 yards) just after halftime. The Rams' second TD resulted from a strip sack by linebacker Jared Verse with fellow linebacker Nate Landman recovering the fumble. Verse had six total tackles and a sack, one of four by the Rams' defense on the day. However, Philadelphia's offense, which was held to just 33 yards and four first downs in the first half, began to move the ball effectively in the second. Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts threw for 205 of his 226 total passing yards and three touchdowns in the second half, with his last completion going to wide receiver DeVonta Smith at just under two minutes remaining in the game. Down 27-26, the Rams rallied as Williams (20 carries, 94 yards) and wide receiver Puka Nacua (11 receptions, 112 yards) picked up significant gains to move Los Angeles into position for a game-winning field goal attempt. But Karty, who had a 36-yard field goal attempt blocked earlier in the fourth quarter, had his 44-yard try blocked as time ran out, and the Eagles scored on the return. Safety Kamren Curl led the Rams with nine tackles.
Week 4: vs. Indianapolis Colts
Week 4: Indianapolis Colts at Los Angeles Rams– Game summary
Wide receiver Tutu Atwell's 88-yard touchdown reception with 1:33 remaining broke a 20-20 tie and safety Kamren Curl's second interception preserved the Rams' victory over the previously unbeaten Colts at SoFi Stadium. Atwell's TD was the third scoring pass of the day thrown by L.A. quarterback Matthew Stafford, who recorded the 50th fourth quarter comeback victory of his career by completing 29 of 41 passes for 375 yards with no interceptions. Curl, who also shared the team lead in total tackles (9) with fellow safety Quentin Lake, got his first interception of Colts quarterback Daniel Jones on the game's fourth play with the turnover leading to the Rams' first lead of the game on a 42-yard field goal by kicker Joshua Karty. Karty added a second field goal from 37 yards out and Stafford capped off a 13-play, 96-yard drive with a 10-yard scoring pass to wide receiver Davante Adams with 0:07 remaining before halftime to give the Rams a 13-10 lead at the intermission. Following a scoreless third quarter, Indianapolis surged ahead 20-13 with 10 unanswered points. The Rams tied the score with 3:20 remaining on a 9-yard TD pass from Stafford to wide receiver Puka Nacua, who collected 13 receptions for a regular season career-high 170 yards on the day and was named NFC Offensive Player of the Week. L.A.'s defense, which had two sacks and seven hurries on Jones and limited Colts running back Jonathan Taylor to less than 100 yards in total offense and no scores for the game, forced Indianapolis to punt inside the two-minute warning, setting up Stafford's late heroics.
Week 5: vs. San Francisco 49ers
Week 5: San Francisco 49ers at Los Angeles Rams– Game summary
In a battle for first place in the NFC West, the host Rams were thwarted in overtime as running back Kyren Williams was held for no gain on fourth-and-1 at the San Francisco 11 with 3:41 remaining. Despite coming in with an injury-depleted lineup, the 49ers pulled out to a 14-0 lead on two touchdown passes by backup quarterback Mac Jones (342 passing yards). Los Angeles closed the gap on the strength of three touchdown passes from quarterback Matthew Stafford. Williams set career single-game highs for receptions (eight), yards (66), and touchdowns (two), and his second scoring catch tied the score 20-20. However, the point-after attempt by kicker Joshua Karty was blocked. After the 49ers took a 23-20 lead, the Rams drove 54 yards in five plays to set up first-and-goal at the San Francisco 3. Taking the handoff from Stafford, Williams barreled toward the goal line when he was separated from the ball at the 2-yard-line and the 49ers recovered with 1:07 remaining. L.A.'s defense forced San Francisco to punt and the Rams were able to force overtime after Karty converted a 48-yard field goal with 0:06 remaining in regulation. San Francisco took possession first and took a 26-23 lead on a 41-yard field goal by kicker Eddy Pineiro. Stafford (389 passing yards) connected with wide receivers Puka Nacua (10 receptions, 85 yards, 1 TD) and Tutu Atwell (two receptions, 72 yards) to put the Rams in the red zone. Williams caught two passes for short gains to set up the fateful fourth down play. Inside linebacker Nate Landman led the Rams with 14 tackles, while outside linebacker Byron Young (named NFC Defensive Player of the Month for September) had six tackles, three quarterback hurries and sharing a sack with defensive end Kobie Turner in the loss.
Week 6: at Baltimore Ravens
Week 6: Los Angeles Rams at Baltimore Ravens– Game summary
Inside Linebacker Nate Landman set a new team single-game record with 17 tackles (eight solo, nine assists) and led a successful goal line stand late in the first half to spark a bounceback victory on the road at M&T Bank Stadium. After Baltimore reached the Los Angeles 1 on its first-and-goal play, L.A. stiffened as Landman was in on consecutive stops of Ravens tight end Mark Andrews (who had lined up under center) short of the goal line. On fourth down, outside linebacker Jared Verse fought off Baltimore blockers to stop Ravens running back Derrick Henry for a two-yard loss which preserved a 3-3 tie at halftime. The Rams began the third quarter with an efficient nine-play, 76-yard drive in just over three minutes. Quarterback Matthew Stafford completed six of eight pass attempts for 73 yards, including a critical 30-yard connection with running back Kyren Williams on a fourth-and-2 at the Baltimore 33. One play later, Williams (13 carries, 50 yards) went up the middle for a 3-yard touchdown run. Stafford completed 17 of 26 passes for 181 yards and one TD, an 8-yard score to tight end Tyler Higbee, who led the Rams with four receptions for 40 yards. Wide receiver Davante Adams added four receptions for 39 yards while fellow wideout Puka Nacua was limited to just two receptions for 28 yards, both of which came on a second quarter drive in which he was injured after landing hard in the end zone following an incomplete pass. Though the drive ended in a 36-yard field goal by kicker Joshua Karty, Nacua did not play the rest of the quarter and came in for only a handful of plays after halftime and was not targeted. Safety Quentin Lake had six tackles and an interception, and his fumble recovery in the third quarter helped to set up the Stafford-to-Higbee TD. The Rams defense recorded seven tackles for loss and 11 hurries of Ravens quarterbacks Cooper Rush and Tyler Huntley, with the latter getting sacked four times in the fourth quarter including twice by outside linebacker Byron Young. Following the game, the Rams stayed in Baltimore and conducted closed practices at Oriole Park at Camden Yards in preparation for their Week 7 game in London.[22]
Quarterback Matthew Stafford matched personal and team single-game team records by throwing five touchdown passes as the Rams routed the host Jaguars at Wembley Stadium. Despite leading receiver Puka Nacua being sidelined with an ankle sprain, Los Angeles scored on three of its first four possessions. Stafford (21-for-33, 182 yards) completed passes to 11 different receivers on the day and connected with rookie wideout Konata Mumpfield on a 5-yard score and then veteran wide receiver Davante Adams (five receptions, 35 yards) from two yards out to give the Rams a 14-0 lead in the first quarter. Adams caught 1-yard TD passes from Stafford in both the second and fourth quarters, matching his single-game career high for TD passes (accomplished twice while Adams was with the Green Bay Packers). Stafford also threw a 31-yard scoring pass to rookie tight end Terrance Ferguson, and his five TD passes were the most by anyone in an NFL International Series game. It was the fifth five-TD game of Stafford's career and his first as a Ram. Defensively, Los Angeles dominated the game with seven sacks and five other tackles for loss. Safety Kamren Curl had a team-high 10 tackles, while linebacker Nate Landman had nine tackles, while both he and outside inside linebacker Byron Young had 1.5 sacks each in the victory, which gave the Rams a 5-0 record against AFC opponents for the season.
With the win, the Rams improved to 5-2 and headed into their bye week.
